Ambassador Barrington

Message from Ambassador Barrington

Welcome to the website of the Embassy of Ireland to Japan.

On these pages, you will find information about Ireland and the services provided by the Embassy. Our role is to promote Ireland’s relations with Japan, in particular our economic relations, to develop a greater awareness of Ireland in Japan and to support Irish citizens in this country.

Relations between our two countries have never been better. There have been a number of bilateral high-level political visits in recent years, including those of Prime Minister Abe to Dublin in June and Taoiseach Enda Kenny to Japan in December 2013. Japan is Ireland’s 11 largest trading partner and over 1,000 Irish people call Japan their home. As we approach the 60th anniversary of bilateral relations in 2017, the Ireland House team in Tokyo, which includes the IDA and Enterprise Ireland, will continue to strive to develop awareness of Ireland here, to promote more bilateral trade for the mutual benefit of both countries, with the effect of greater prosperity and more jobs back home.

At the Embassy, we are eager to communicate with the Irish community and with the many Japanese friends of Ireland. As well as our quarterly Embassy Newsletter, we are active on Facebook and Twitter, so be sure to follow us via the links on this page. We also continually seek to improve the services we provide you, so please do not hesitate to get in touch with any comments or feedback you have.

Le gach dea ghuí,

Best wishes,

Anne BarringtonAmbassador of Ireland
